Cognitivism

Cognitivism - The Daily Concept

Cognitivism is a movement that started as a response to behaviorism. The difference between cognitivism and behaviorism is that behaviorists think that all behaviors are reflexes to a certain stimuli in the environment or a consequence of someone's history (including punishment and reinforcement), whereas cognitivists think that the way people think influences their behavior. Behaviorists believe that thinking is a behavior.
